Safety precautions
These safety precautions are important.
You must refer also to the local regulations in the country of use. Some items only apply to specific
applications.
Only use these engines in the type of application for which they have been designed.
zDo not change the specification of the engine.
zDo not smoke when you put fuel in the tank.
zClean away fuel which has been spilt. Material which has been contaminated by fuel must be moved to a
safe place.
zDo not put fuel in the tank while the engine runs (unless it is absolutely necessary).
zDo not clean, add lubricating oil, or adjust the engine while it runs (unless you have had the correct training;
even then extreme caution must be used to prevent injury).
zDo not make adjustments that you do not understand.
zEnsure that the engine does not run in a location where it can cause a concentration of toxic emissions.
zOther persons must be kept at a safe distance while the engine or auxiliary equipment is in operation.
zDo not permit loose clothing or long hair near moving parts.
zKeep away from moving parts during engine operation.
Warning! Some moving parts cannot be seen clearly while the engine runs.
zDo not operate the engine if a safety guard has been removed.
zDo not remove the filler cap of the cooling system while the engine is hot and while the coolant is under
pressure, because dangerous hot coolant can be discharged.
zDo not use salt water or any other coolant which can cause corrosion in the closed coolant circuit.
zDo not allow sparks or fire near the batteries (especially when the batteries are on charge) because the
gases from the electrolyte are highly flammable. The battery fluid is dangerous to the skin and especially
to the eyes.
zDisconnect the battery terminals before a repair is made to the electrical system.
zOnly one person must control the engine.
zEnsure that the engine is operated only from the control panel or from the operator's position.
zIf your skin comes into contact with high-pressure fuel, obtain medical assistance immediately.
zDiesel fuel and lubricating oil (especially used lubricating oil) can damage the skin of certain persons.
Protect your hands with gloves or a special solution to protect the skin.
zDo not wear clothing which is contaminated by lubricating oil. Do not put material which is contaminated
with oil into the pockets.
zDiscard used lubricating oil in a safe place to prevent contamination.
zEnsure that the control lever of the transmission drive is in the "out-of-drive" position before the engine is
started.
zThe combustible material of some components of the engine (for example certain seals) can become
extremely dangerous if it is burned. Never allow this burnt material to come into contact with the skin or with
the eyes.
zAlways use a safety cage to protect the operator when a component is to be pressure tested in a bath of
water. Fit safety wires to secure the plugs which seal the hose connections of a component which is to be
pressure tested.

zDo not allow compressed air to contact your skin. If compressed air enters your skin, obtain medical help
immediately.
zTurbochargers operate at high speed and at high temperatures. Keep fingers, tools and other objects away
from the inlet and outlet ports of the turbocharger and avoid contact with hot surfaces.
zFit only genuine Perkins parts.
How to care for your engine
This handbook has been written to assist you to maintain and operate your engine correctly.
To obtain the best performance and the longest life from your engine, you must ensure that the maintenance
operations are done at the intervals indicated in Chapter 4, Preventive maintenance. If the engine works in a
very dusty environment or other adverse conditions, certain maintenance intervals will have to be reduced.
Renew the filter canisters and lubricating oil regularly in order to ensure that the inside of your engine remains
clean.
Ensure that all adjustments and repairs are done by personnel who have had the correct training. Perkins can
provide training at the Perkins Customer Training Department, Peterborough.
The terms "left side" and "right side" apply when the engine is seen from the flywheel end.
Warning! Read the "Safety precautions" on page 2 and remember them. They are given for your protection
and must be applied at all times.

Engine preservation
Introduction
The recommendations indicated below are designed to prevent damage to the engine when it is withdrawn
from service for a prolonged period. Use these procedures after the engine is withdrawn from service. The
instructions for the use of POWERPART products are given on the outside of each container.
Procedure
1 Completely clean the outside of the engine.
2 When a preservative fuel is to be used, drain the fuel system and fill it with the preservative fuel.
POWERPART Lay-Up 1 can be added to the normal fuel to change it to a preservative fuel. If preservative fuel
is not used, the system can be completely filled with normal fuel but the fuel must be drained and discarded at
the end of the storage period together with the fuel filter canister.
3 Operate the engine until it is warm. Then correct leakages of fuel, lubricating oil or air. Stop the engine and
drain the lubricating oil from the sump.
4 Renew the canister of the lubricating oil filter.
5 Fill the sump to the full mark with new and clean lubricating oil and add POWERPART Lay-up 2 to the oil to
protect the engine against corrosion. If POWERPART Lay-Up 2 is not available, use a correct preservative
fluid instead of the lubricating oil. If a preservative fluid is used, this must be drained and the lubricating oil
sump must be filled to the correct level with normal lubricating oil at the end of the storage period.
6 Drain the coolant system, see "How to drain the cooling system" on page 21. In order to protect the cooling
system against corrosion, fill it with an approved antifreeze mixture because this gives protection against
corrosion, see "Coolant specification" on page 35.
Caution: If protection against frost is not necessary and a corrosion inhibitor is to be used, it is recommended
that you consult the Technical Service Department, Perkins Sales and Service Limited, Peterborough.
7 Operate the engine for a short period in order to circulate the lubricating oil and the coolant in the engine.
8 Clean the engine breather pipe and seal the end of the pipe.
9 Remove the atomisers and spray POWERPART Lay-Up 2 for one to two seconds into each cylinder bore
with the piston at bottom dead centre. Slowly turn the crankshaft one revolution and then fit the atomisers,
complete with new seat washers.
10 Disconnect the air inlet pipe at the rocker cover. Release the cap screws and remove the rocker cover.
Spray POWERPART Lay-Up 2 around the rocker shaft assembly and into the induction ports in the cylinder
head, as indicated on the container label. Fit the rocker cover and connect the air inlet pipe.
Remove the air filter. Then, if necessary, remove the pipe(s) installed between the air filter and the
turbocharger. Seal the air inlet to the turbocharger with waterproof tape.

Peregrine Models WG and WJ
11 Remove the exhaust pipe. Spray POWERPART Lay-Up 2 into the turbocharger. It is recommended that
the spray time for the turbocharger is 50% longer than the spray time for the manifold, which is indicated on
the container label. Seal the turbocharger with waterproof tape.
12 Disconnect the battery. Then put the battery into safe storage in a fully charged condition. Before the
battery is put into storage, protect its terminals against corrosion. POWERPART Lay-Up 3 can be used on the
terminals.
13 Seal the vent pipe of the fuel tank or the fuel filler cap with waterproof tape.
14 Remove the drive belts and put them into storage.
15 In order to prevent corrosion, spray the engine with POWERPART Lay-Up 3. Do not spray the area inside
the alternator cooling fan.
Caution: After a period in storage, but before the engine is started, operate the starter motor with the engine
stop control in the "stop" position until oil pressure is indicated. Oil pressure can be indicated either by a gauge
or when a low pressure warning light is extinguished. If a solenoid stop control is used on the fuel injection
pump, it must be disconnected for this operation.
If the engine protection is done correctly according to the above recommendations, no corrosion damage will
normally occur. Perkins are not responsible for damage which may occur when an engine is in storage after a
period in service.
Parts and service
If problems occur with your engine or with the components fitted onto it, your Perkins distributor can make the
necessary repairs and will ensure that only the correct parts are fitted and that the work is done correctly.
Certain components can be supplied by your Perkins distributor through the Perkins POWER COMPONENTS
system. These will enable you to reduce the cost of certain repairs.

Operation instructions 3
How to start the engine
Several factors affect engine start, for example:
zThe power of the batteries
zThe performance of the starter motor
zThe viscosity of the lubricating oil
zThe installation of a cold start system
The engine will start with the fuel injection pump in excess fuel at temperatures as low as -20 °C (-4 °F). In
conditions where the temperature is lower than this, an ether start system may be necessary.
Before the engine is started the operator should understand fully the reason for the controls and their use.
Before the engine is started:
zCheck that there is sufficient coolant and, if necessary, add the correct coolant. See Chapter 4, Preventive
maintenance.
zCheck that there is sufficient lubricating oil in the sump and, if necessary, add lubricating oil. See Chapter
4, Preventive maintenance. Ensure that the lubricating oil is of the correct grade for the ambient conditions.
zFill the fuel tank with fuel of the correct specification.
zCheck the air filter and its connections.
zEnsure that all of the electrical connections are tight.
Notes:
zSee Chapter 5, Engine fluids for the correct engine fluids.
zThe procedures to start the engine may vary according to the application. If possible, consult the User's
Handbook for the application.
Caution: If the engine has not run for several weeks, see Caution on page 5.

How to start a warm engine
Ambient temperature more than 15°C (60°F)
1 Apply the hand brake. Ensure that the transmission is in the out-of-drive position. Ensure that the engine
speed control is in the minimum speed position.
2 If the engine is equipped with a manual stop control, ensure that it is in the "run" position.
3 Turn the start key to the "ON" position.
4 Continue to turn the start key to engage the starter motor. If the application has a start button, press and
hold the button.
5 Release the start key (or the button) as soon as the engine starts. The start key will return to the "ON"
position.
Caution: Caution: If the engine does not start within 30 seconds, release the start key and wait two to three
minutes to allow the starter motor to cool. If after three tries the engine does not start, turn the key to the "OFF"
position and locate and correct the problem. Always ensure that the engine and starter motor are stationary
before the starter motor is engaged again.
6 When the engine starts check that the lubricating oil pressure exceeds 69 kPa (10 lbs/in2) 0,70 kgf/cm2
within the first 10 seconds (see "Engine data" on page 10 for the correct lubricating oil pressure). If a gauge is
not fitted, check that the warning light for low oil pressure is extinguished. If this does not occur, stop the engine
and find and correct the fault. Allow the engine to warm at approximately 1000 rev/min for three to five minutes
before load is applied.

2 Ensure that the engine speed control is in the minimum speed position.
Engines equipped with a manual stop control: Ensure that the manual stop control is in the "run" position. Then
adjust the engine speed control to the maximum speed position.
3 Turn the start key to the "ON" position.
4 Continue to turn the start key to engage the starter motor. If the application has a start button, press and
hold the button. If the engine is equipped with an electrical stop control, move the engine speed control to the
maximum speed position after the starter motor is engaged.
5 Release the start key (or the button) as soon as the engine starts. The start key will return to the "ON"
position. Then release the engine speed control.
6 When the engine starts check that the lubricating oil pressure exceeds 69 kPa (10 lbs/in2) 0,70 kgf/cm2
within the first 10 seconds (see "Engine data" on page 10 for the correct lubricating oil pressure). If a gauge is
not fitted, check that the warning light for low oil pressure is extinguished. If this does not occur, stop the engine
and find and correct the fault. Allow the engine to warm at approximately 1000 rev/min for three to five minutes
before load is applied.
Caution: If the engine does not start within 30 seconds, release the start key and wait two to three minutes to
allow the starter motor to cool. If after three tries the engine does not start, turn the key to the "OFF" position
and locate and correct the problem. Always ensure that the engine and starter motor are stationary before the
starter motor is engaged again.

How to start an engine with an ether start system
Ambient temperature below -20°C (-4°F)
Warning! Ether is very flammable and is toxic. Apply the safety precautions on the container for the use and
storage of ether and for the disposal of empty containers.
1 Apply the hand brake. Ensure that the transmission is in the out-of-drive position. Ensure that the engine
speed control is in the minimum speed position. Check the ether container to ensure that a supply of ether is
available under pressure.
2 If the engine is equipped with a manual stop control, ensure that it is in the "run" position.
3 Ensure that the engine speed control is still in the idle position.
4 Turn the start key to the "ON" position.
5 Continue to turn the start key (or press the start button, if one is fitted) to engage the starter motor and at
the same time press the ether injection button. Allow one to two seconds for the ether injection system to fill
then release the injection button to release a measured amount of ether into the engine. While the engine is
still at cranking speed move the engine speed control to the maximum speed position.
Caution: Release of ether into the cylinders before the starter motor is engaged may cause damage to the
pistons and piston rings.
6 Release the start key (or the start button, if one is fitted) as soon as the engine starts. The start key will return
to the "ON" position. Then release the engine speed control.
Caution: If the engine does not start within 30 seconds, release the start key and wait two to three minutes to
allow the starter motor to cool. If after three tries the engine does not start, turn the key to the "OFF" position
and locate and correct the problem. Always ensure that the engine and starter motor are stationary before the
starter motor is engaged again.
Note: In extremely cold conditions, it is permissible to inject further ether into the engine if the engine runs
roughly after the initial start.
Caution: Do not inject ether into a warm engine.
7 When the engine starts check that the lubricating oil pressure exceeds 69 kPa (10 lbs/in2) 0,70 kgf/cm2
within the first 25 seconds (see "Engine data" on page 10 for the correct lubricating oil pressure). If a gauge is
not fitted, check that the warning light for low oil pressure is extinguished. If this does not occur, stop the engine
and find and correct the fault. Allow the engine to warm at approximately 1000 rev/min for three to five minutes
before load is applied.
